Prescri
tion Threshol Training
The CrossFit prescription is “constantly varied, highintensity, fnctional age
movement.” Fnctional movements are niversal motor recritment
patterns
they are performed in a ave of contraction from core to etremity
and they are compond movements—i.e., they are mltioint. They are
natral, effective, and efficient locomotors of ody and eternal oects. t
no aspect of fnctional movements is more important than their capacity
to move large loads over long distances, and to do so ickly. Collectively,
these three attrites §load, distance, and speed¨ niely alify fnctional
movements for the prodction of high poer. Intensity is defined eactly as
poer, and intensity is the independent variale most commonly associated
ith maimiing favorale adaptation to eercise. Recogniing that the
readth and depth of a program’s stimls ill determine the readth
and depth of the adaptation it elicits, or prescription of fnctionality and
intensity is constantly varied. e elieve that preparation for random
physical challenges—i.e., nknon and nknoale events—is at odds ith
fied, predictale, and rotine regimens.
